Hello, Thanks for looking into this. Let me reply inline (and prune the mail):

Hm, not sure VFS-540 is about commons logging, VFS-541 is about commons compress? At least in changes.xml and JIRA? > VFS-476 and VFS-540 are dupes, but both are listed in > changes.xml. I assume one should be marked as a dupe and removed from > changes.xml? Hm, 476 was pushing logging to 1.1.3 and 540 to 1.2. We could remove the older one (it will still be in the JIRA report) so the changes are reduced (however it is still a long list so I would keep the two steps and make a general "updated dependencies" summary line in the announcement. > VFS-457 is still open. Yes, I think I will keep it open for some more but we should have a TODO list for the release: https://wiki.apache.org/commons/VfsReleaseState > VFS-415 requires Java 1.6, > announcement.vm needs to be updated. I was unsure if this should be put into the .vm file (where some old specific text is placed currently) or actually be part of the release description in the changes.xml file. But I agree it needs to be made explicite (added to above wiki page) > VFS-371 to 391 fixVersion is > incorrect (is currently NightlyBuild) Thanks I added 2.1 and remove nighltyBuild for all (+401, 202 2.0:307,131) of them (in the future it might be a good idea to use nightly execlusively until the RC is cut. But for now I chose to harmonize all to 2.1 as this is the majority of resolved issues). > > b) check all open JIRA bugs if there are any with a trivial fix or > > a pending patch or a totally dangerous sounding description (i.e. > > blocker). > > I don't feel that I know enough about the other providers to know > what is trivial or dangerous.

Yes, for the dependencies for providers there is a little conflict in staying current and in having too high (i.e. not widely used) minimum dependencies. Can you commont for hdfs, what is a widely used minimum dependency, what is the latest. Maybe we need to test and document what versions it actually runs with (different from the compile version). > > c) check out vfs2-project/trunk on various systems (with compiler > > zoo) and try to build it (including site goal). > > Linux x64: > 'mvn clean package' built successfully with jdk1.6.0_45, > jdk1.7.0_72, jdk1.8.0_25 ** > > ** includes VFS-530-4.patch changes Thanks. > > f) the hadoop equals fix should be tested against a real use > > (VFS-523) Can you comment on this? > > k) find out why "mvn -U -x clean site -P release,include-sandbox - > > DskipPGP=true" fails with a dist/checkstyle-supression.xml problem, > > report it as a bug and provide a patch (and provide a path) > > (something around ${vfs.parent} I guess. > > The instructions at > http://maven.apache.org/plugins/maven-checkstyle-plugin/examples/multi-module-config.html > might resolve the issue.

So I would prefer if we can try to resolve it with a property (basedir/vfs.parent, similar). Could you maybe try this route first?
